OpenIndiana is technically SunOS 5.11, and to maintain compatibility we'll be keeping this for the foreseeable future. Perhaps in the very distant future a version bump might occur, but we're talking 5+ years here I imagine. If the GLText screensaver is displaying "SunOS 5.11", it's because it's using the output from "uname -sr". In theory we could customise the uname string used to something like "OpenIndiana oi_148" instead - if you really care about this by all means feel free to supply a patch. Our releases will be called, for example, "OpenIndiana 2011.02". The version number reported by "uname -v" would most likely be based on the version the release is based on, for example "oi_148b". This is consistent with the way Sun did things with OpenSolaris.
